Terminal Slam Music Videoは街の中に存在する広告を全て消去、もしくはSquarepusher由来の広告に入れ替えるということを行ったDiminished Reality, Mixed Reality Music Videoである。近い将来、このMusic Videoで行われた様にAR/MRグラスをかけることによって街中の風景を自由に書き換えることが出来る様になるだろうと真鍋大度は考えて本MVを作成した。
Machine Learningテクノロジーを用いて、

- Object Detection（画像の中のオブジェクトの位置を認識）
- Semantic Segmentation（画像の中のピクセル1つひとつに対してラベル付けを行い、意味に応じて画像領域をカテゴリ分類する）
- Image Inpaint（画像修復技術）
を行った。街中の広告看板はほとんどのものが周期的に変化するため、現在の技術では機械が正確に認識することが難しかったので人力で広告看板の位置データを作成した。
また、解析データ、位置データを用いてマスク情報を作成し、人や広告の存在するエリアのみにグリッチエフェクトをかける、光学迷彩エフェクトをかけるなどのポストプロセス処理を行った。

また、広告の領域を抽出する様な手続きは既存の機械学習技術のみで行うことは不可能だったため、現時点での技術で実現が出来ないものに関しては人力によりマニュアルオペレーションも行った。近い未来には全て自動で出来る様になることを予想しておく。 Behind The Sceneはこちらより：

Perfume Imaginary Museum “Time Warp” @ Perfume P.O.P Festival

A live performance held at the online festival on September 21, marking Perfume’s 20th anniversary and 15th anniversary since their major-label debut. The final date of the “P Cubed” tour, scheduled for February 26, was canceled due to COVID-19, and the team explored how to present their work online in response to the feelings left with nowhere to go, while making use of the data acquired for the tour performances. More filmmakers and CG artists than ever before took part in this production. Perfume Imaginary Museum “Time Warp” was streamed using a new video system that combines high-resolution footage shot on a green screen and low-resolution footage that allows free viewpoint movement (4D Views). Keying data was created by shooting on a green screen with eight cameras. Tracking information for the eight cameras was obtained through match moving. Using 4D Views data, continuous free-viewpoint camera movement became possible.

In yesworld, in addition to visually direct words like “driver,” expressions such as “you” and “give me back myself” are used. Although we did not discuss the lyrics in detail, we began creating the work by interpreting that “you” as a personified form of the great currents and absurdities that human beings cannot resist. In life, there are many things beyond our control, and everyone loses something important, to a greater or lesser extent. To express the chaotic worldview of the song, in which these overwhelming absurdities surrounding human beings—a nightmare-like world—and, within it, a certain kind of human radiance that cannot be lost are all intermingled, I was conscious of the degree of jump between the impressions of each cut, the sense of looping, and the nightmare-like atmosphere.
